It could be doable if we were talking about just two packages and then
there are a lot of dependencies and it may end up rebuilding the OS
(exaggerating a bit, but you get the point. I recently did something
similar for Python 3.12 on RHEL 8 and 9 and spent lots of time:

)

So as Peter wrote, packagers stick with the OS packages as much as they
can.
